This wont end well

I think this is focusing on the art of development as opposed to the more commericial aspect . You of all people should realise that sales and cost's aren't everything unless you are a shareholder and not a gamer.

tish artigce is rely well writen and makes a lot of good pints, i mean come on and look at sony people: god of war ratchet resistance killzone, even stuff like metal gear solid and etc sony is the best

al nintendo makes is th dumb plumber do sam thing over and over plus little bitch link going 'hyaaah' and waving his sword and shit lol

Let's see how this list looks by the time Sony finishes reorganizing its games business.

I think you need to find out what developer actually means.


Most those things you listed are either outsourced by Sony, or a features part of the console. ie online and visuals.

This article is so wrong it is funny. Sony don`t release new games of their old franchises because most of them are dead. Most of their IPs suck. It was much easier to release lackluster games (and sell a lot) when they were on top. Now they must spend much more time and money to make sure these IPs are quality stuff. Even so, their best games are still second rate stuff compared to Nintendo third rate IPs.

Most GAMERS would love it if their first party IPs SOLD well and thus they could receive multiple iterations of the IP, sped up by reduced DEVELOPMENT COSTS. See what I did there?

If you're suggesting that their reshuffle is going to see the end of lots of studios, then I find that unlikely.

SCEWWS is the only profitable sector; why hurt it?

I can see them closing some of the studios that aren't really active anymore, but I don't see the landscape being completely changed.

Rofl . chad warden much?

SCE has way too many employees, more than Nintendo in fact. Probably a legacy of the PS2 years. I don't think that number of employees can be justified now, so we'll probably see merged/closed/smaller studios and perhaps less focus on new IPs, and more focus on the sure hits (i.e. Sony's biggest franchises).
